|name=Phalanx Warrior
|quote=Do not fear, friends! Nothing will get past me!
|prereq=Warlord or Defender role, proficiency with heavy shield and a 1H spear/polearm reach weapon 
|summary=A powerful Warrior who focuses on protecting allies using reach weapons and shields.
|description=For whatever reason, you have adopted the Phalanx way of fighting. Perhaps you were once a soldier,trained for war. Maybe you enjoyed the reach of the spear, but was not willing to give up the shield. Whatever the reason, whatever the path, you are now a Phalanx warrior; you plant yourself in the middle of battle, keeping all foes within reach of you. You don't let anyone past, and if they get too far, you lunge across the battle field making sure none escapes. 

When you pick up a spear, reality seems to just skew slightly...
|feat1=Spear Proficiency
|feat1lvl=11
|feat1desc= You gain a +1 bonus to attack roles with all spear type weapons. In addition, your reach increases by 1 whenever you use a spear type weapon.
When you make your move, you make sure you leave a mark...
|feat2=Containing Reaction
|feat2lvl=11
|feat2desc= When you spend an action point to spend an extra action, you can also mark 2 targets within 5 squares of you as a free action.

|feat3=Extraordinary Phalanx Fighting
|feat3lvl=16
|feat3desc= When using a spear, you can make opportunity attacks against targets who are 2 squares away from you instead of one. In addition, whenever you make any kind of attack with a spear type weapon, you can choose to spend an minor action to either...
::*Take a -2 penalty to the attack roll. You can reach an extra one square for this attack.
::*Mark a target within 2 squares of the target you just attacked.
